You shouldn't any more. All of the contesting.com reflectors have been 
changed so that the name of the mailing list is prepended to the subject. 
(ie [TowerTalk]) So, just look for a subject that doesn't have this in 
the header. (Of course, if someone sends you a personal message as a 
reply from the list, it will be like this, too)

I use a pretty powerful e-mail client, Claris Emailer. It only runs on 
Macs, but I heard there is a Windows version in the works. It permits 
processing of received mail. I've set up a number of mail actions to set 
the priority of each message according to where it came from. So, all my 
TowerTalk messages have the priority "Tower" and are displayed in a deep 
purple shade.

Your e-mail client may be able to do the same. Check it out. It is very 
useful when sifting through 100's of messages a day.
